Product Description
The Sigma MA-6E is a stylish F-style mandolin that delivers classic tone and modern practicality at a very accessible price. With a hand-carved solid spruce top, flamed maple body and quality Fishman electronics, it offers a lively acoustic voice with the added flexibility of plugging in for the stage or studio.
Whether you are exploring bluegrass chops, folky melodies or Celtic tunes, the MA-6E gives you the projection, clarity and playability you need. Its thin V-profile neck and compact 14 inch scale make it comfortable and responsive, while the polished gloss Vintage Sunburst finish gives it a timeless, traditional look.
Classic F-Style Design with Modern Playability
The MA-6E features the iconic F-style body shape that bluegrass and folk players love, offering a strong, percussive chop and excellent note separation. The slim, thin V-profile maple neck and 14 inch scale length make it easy to navigate fast runs and intricate chord work, helping you play more cleanly and comfortably for longer sessions.
Hand-Carved Solid Spruce Top
At the heart of the MA-6E is a hand-carved solid spruce top that gives the instrument its dynamic, responsive character. Solid spruce is prized for its ability to project clearly while remaining articulate and balanced, so your rhythm chops cut through the mix and your single-note lines sing with clarity and definition.
Flamed Maple Back and Sides
The flamed maple back and sides not only look stunning under the Vintage Sunburst gloss finish, they also contribute to the mandolin’s bright, punchy tone. Maple adds focus and projection, giving your sound extra snap and presence that works brilliantly in ensemble settings where you need to be heard.
Stage Ready with Fishman Electronics
Equipped with a Fishman 520E-VS pickup system, the MA-6E is ready to perform whenever you are. Plug straight into an amp or PA and enjoy a clear, natural amplified sound that captures the character of the mandolin, making it ideal for live gigs, rehearsals and recording without the hassle of external mics.
Features
- Hand-Carved Solid Spruce Top - The solid spruce soundboard responds beautifully to your playing dynamics, from gentle picking to hard-driving chops, giving you a lively, expressive tone that improves as the instrument opens up over time.
- Flamed Maple Back and Sides - Flamed maple provides a bright, focused voice with excellent projection, helping your parts cut through in a band mix while also adding eye-catching visual appeal under stage lights.
- Comfortable Thin V-Profile Neck - The maple neck with a thin V-profile and 1 1/8 inch nut width offers a secure yet comfortable feel, making complex chords, fast runs and extended playing sessions easier on your fretting hand.
- Fishman 520E-VS Electronics - The onboard Fishman system delivers a clear, reliable amplified tone, so you can go straight into an amp or PA with confidence, keeping your sound consistent from practice room to stage.
